Epic Day

By Mike Huckabee

January 10, 2023

Today is a pretty epic day for the Huckabee family.  Sarah Huckabee Sanders, youngest of our 3 children, becomes the 47th Governor of Arkansas today at noon in a swearing in ceremony on the steps of the Arkansas State Capitol.  There is no way to fully express the range of emotions I’m personally feeling watching her enter her service in an office that I had the privilege of working in for just short of 11 years.  Her move with her family to the Arkansas Governor's Mansion will mark a return to the home in which she spent a lot of her adolescent years learning places to hide.  Her 3 children will try the same stunts, no doubt, but they don’t have a chance!  She already knows where all the great hiding places are!  

Her becoming Governor is historic in that it marks the first time in American history that a daughter has followed her father in a Governor’s Office.  She is the first woman to be elected Governor in our state.  But I believe the real history is yet to be written as she will bring vision, bold ideas, and a great team of quality people to the office.  Above all, it’s my fervent prayer that she takes one piece of advice from her Dad:  “Never forget who your boss is!”  It’s not the donors who helped get you there.  It’s not the lobbyists, the legislators, the staff, or the press (certainly not!).  It’s the citizens of the state who maybe didn’t vote for you, couldn’t afford to contribute to your campaign, or have a thing they can do for you.  No matter how they dress, what they do for a living, where they live, or how much education they have or don’t have, THEY are your bosses.  Serve them.  Love them.  Pray for them daily.”

She enters with a servant’s heart and the heart of a Mom.  I’m proud of all 3 of my children, but today, it’s her special day to celebrate with her incredible husband Bryan, their 3 children Scarlett, Huck, and George, and thousands of friends from across the nation.  And her parents celebrate with her!

    I am so happy for the great State of Arkansas for choosing Sarah Huckabee! I am proud of her! She is highly intelligent, articulate and tough! She was a great press secretary who served President Trump honorably. She took all the slings and arrows aimed at her! Now she will show us her mettle as a Governor! You should be proud Mike!

    We too, from the Great State of Tennessee, are proud of your daughter, Sarah. She has shown in such a positive manner what she can do on a national scale during Trump's administration. I can't imagine what positive goals she will accomplish for the people of Arkansas as their Governor. I know her positive energy will be felt by the rest of America! God Bless Sarah!

    It's about time that Arkansas, a very beautiful state, continued your exceptional work while you were Governor. I lived in Benton, and in Salem, for a while, now I live in SC. I believe that, after the hectic years of the Clinton crime family, Arkansas was left in shatters, corrupt, and in a very sad, political, economic state. i wish Sarah the best; she has already proven that Arkansas will be tops in many ways, nationally. And, kudos to you for being a great father.

    Congratulations governor! Tammy & I have watched your career with enthusiastic interest since having the opportunity of spending that week in Israel with you several years ago. It was a privilege to meet you and to get to know you a little bit. I am sure that your daughter, Sarah, will be a superb governor, and a true asset to the people of Arkansas. I know this from your integrity, loyalty, and honesty; how could she be any less?
    Again, our congratulations.
    With warmest regards,
    Scott and Tammy Deppe
